Hi to my readers, Its been about 1 1/2 yrs since i got
my 1st car on my own. Its an INDICA V2 DLS turbo. My Dad’s previous
cars are Maruthi 800 and his current car Santro and not to forget my very fisrt
car which got me the License to DRIVE “Standard 10". Coming back to
indica. They way i look at is you get what you pay for, and no complains
i got what i paid for. Since this is what i can afford, and i'm happy and
contended with. I've clocked about 15K + over this period and had a long
haul from Chennai to cochin and
back..without a glitch and very often i take the car on long haul between Chennai
to Chidambaram and also down south. I get a modest mileage of about
19-21km/ltr with occasional AC on, as my driving in the highway stood between
90 to 110 kms and city between 30 to 50 kms. I spend a good lot of time
shining my little bird and giving a good care and treating it as my pal.
My only feel is that TATA"S could have put some decent interiors which i
really felt its FAR below standards. Lot of people criticised about my decision
but i stood since I can only afford that...beggars cant be choosers as the
saying goes and i wanted a family car that would take me to places and also
give me a worth for money. Well i really loved AVEO UVA style and was
talking to my wife about buying one but only money constraints.
Affordability is one thing and liking is another. I wish they bring
crossover car's like HHR (Chevrolet) or PT cruiser (Chrysler) which I would
love to see on the Indian roads as it looks more macho and more aesthetic and
something that i would cherish and love to own one in the due course if they
ever get launched in Indian market. I’m
sure the competition and the general people’s mind set would change forever if Chevrolet
or Chrysler brings in crossover cars like HHR or PT cruiser. I would rather have opinion poll conducted by
Chevrolet to launch such vehicle as it would stir a new competition in the
crossover segment as we only have Ford Fusion (not a full crossover) in that
segment.
You get what you pay forVery ordinary interiors.
